Unable to authenticate account

[Feu Mystique]

Launcher Version: 1.0.1.1

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-Bit OS

Java Version: JRE 7 for Windows x64

Antivirus Program: Norton Internet Security (Was preinstalled on this new laptop)

Description of Problem:

When I enter my Mojang account credentials into the Technic Launcher, a box with the error message "Unable to authenticate account with minecraft.net" appears. On a similar note, my default Minecraft Launcher could not connect to Minecraft.net, but a moderator provided a download link to a separate launcher that could allow me to login to Minecraft.

Interesting. I couldn't login to my fixed launcher when .net was down, but the default MC launcher and Technic Pack are still broken for me.
